Sélection Grains Nobles Domaine de Tourbillon is one of the most prestigious dessert wines from the Provins winery in the canton of Valais, perfectly showcasing the mastery of crafting wines from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This specific selection of berries, known as “grains nobles”, leads to a natural concentration of sugars, aromas, and acids, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity.

It is most often made from the native Valais varieties Petite Arvine and Marsanne, which together create a harmonious balance of richness and freshness. The color is deep golden with amber reflections, while the aroma reveals layers of honey, candied apricot, dried plum, exotic fruit, and subtle citrus.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and rounded, yet balanced by a refreshing acidity that prevents excessive sweetness. The texture is silky, almost oily, with a long mineral finish reminiscent of the Valais terroir.

This wine pairs beautifully with foie gras, noble blue cheeses such as Roquefort, or delicate fruit-based desserts. Sélection Grains Nobles Domaine de Tourbillon stands as proof that Valais can produce a dessert wine worthy of the world’s great classics like Sauternes - yet marked by its own authentic Alpine character.
